Waterfront Partnership Introduces Cigarette Butt Recycling Program

Cigarette Waste Brigade Include USA Baltimore Harbor cigarette recycling
Waterfront Partnership of Baltimore has installed 15 recycling receptacles to encourage smokers to properly dispose of their used cigarettes in Harbor East as part of its Healthy Harbor Initiative. Cigarette litter collected will be sent to TerraCycle for recycling, eliminating cigarette litter from Baltimore’s streets, waterways and landfills. “Every year, millions of cigarette butts are tossed on the ground in Baltimore. When it rains they get washed into our storm drains, which flow directly into our streams and Harbor,” said Adam Lindquist, director of Waterfront Partnership’s Healthy Harbor Initiative.
